The Chicago Sky defeated the Dallas Wings 87-76 inside Wintrust Arena on Wednesday, July 9. The Sky are now 6-13 on the season, 3-4 at home and 5-5 against the Western Conference. Chicago won all three games it played against Dallas this season.

Rebecca Allen led the Sky in scoring with a season-high 27 points in just 25 minutes off the bench. She added six rebounds, three assists and three blocks. Allen's season-high five three-pointers helped the Sky extend their lead and seal a third victory at home.

Angel Reese recorded her 15 double-double of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds. After the Wings cut the lead to six points with 3:38 remaining, Reese scored back-to-back layups, one of which resulted in an and-one that put the game away. Elizabeth Williams added eight points, five rebounds and six assists while Ariel Atkins scored seven points and four assists.

The Sky's win completed a special night as all-time franchise leading three-point scorer Allie Quigley became the first player to have her jersey retired by the Sky.
